What is Horizon 2020
• The new European Union programme for research and innovation for 2014-2020
• A budget of just over €79 billion; 30 per cent higher in real terms than the 2007-2013 period
• A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area:
− Responding to the economic crisis to invest in jobs and growth
− Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment
− Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology

€ 79 billion from 2014 to 2020
What's new
• An integrated programme coupling research to innovation – support from research to retail, bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives*
• Challenge based - tackling major challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean energy and transport
• Strong focus on SMEs
• Open to the rest of the world
• Major simplification - for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond

Three priorities
Excellent Excellent sciencescience
Industrial Industrial leadershipleadership
Societal Societal challengeschallenges
6
Priority 1. Excellent science (24.4 Billion Euro)
Why:•World class science is the foundation of tomorrow’s technologies, jobs and well-being
•Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent
•Researchers need access to the best infrastructures
European Research CouncilFrontier research by the best individual teams
13.095
Future and Emerging TechnologiesCollaborative research to open new fields of innovation
2.696
Marie Sklodowska-Curie ActionsOpportunities for training and career development
6.162
Research Infrastructures (including e-infrastructure-Ensuring access to world-class facilities
2.488
7
Priority 2. Industrial leadership (17 Billion Euro)
Why:•Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors
•Europe needs to attract more private investment inresearch and innovation
•Europe needs more innovativeSMEs to create growth and jobs
8
Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space)
13.557
Access to risk financeLeveraging private finance and venture capital for research and innovation
2.842
Innovation in SMEsFostering all forms of innovation in all types of SMES
616 +complemented by expected 20% of societal challenges and LEITs + 'Access to risk finance' with strong SME focus'
Priority 3. Societal challenges (30 Billion Euro)
Why:• Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport etc.) cannot be achieved without innovation
• Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities
• Promising solutions need to betested, demonstrated and scaled up
9
Health, demographic change and wellbeing 7.472
Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime and inland water research and the bioeconomy
3.851
Secure, clean and efficient energy 5.931
Smart, green and integrated transport 6.339
Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials
3.081
Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies 1.310
Secure societies 1.695
Science with and for society 462
Spreading excellence and widening participation 816
Strong focus on SMEs
• In collaborative projects - 20% of total budget for societal challenges and enabling & industrial technologies to go to SMEs
• A new SME instrument in all societal challenges and enabling & industrial technologies (7% of relevant budgets)
• Simplification of particular benefit to SMEs (e.g. single entry point)
• Eurostars joint programme with Member States and associated
countries for research-intensive SMEs
• Support measures under 'Innovation in SMEs' - networking and brokering; SMEs to ‘spin in’ technology by connecting to researchers and innovators across Europe
• Access to risk finance to have a strong SME focus - (debt and equity facilities)
10
International cooperation
• Principle of general openness: the programme will remain to be the most open funding programme in the world
• Open to the association of: enlargement countries / EFTA / European Neighbourhood (and others associated to FP7)
• Targeted actions to be implemented taking a strategic approach to international cooperation
11
Partnerships with industry and Member States
• Additional contractual Public-Private Partnerships
In addition:
• €22 billion Innovation Investment Package proposed by Commission (July 2013)
• Joint programmes (with Member States, under Article 185)
• Joint Technology Initiatives (with industry under Article 187)
Major Simplification for the benefit of applicants
1. A single set of rules for all funding under Horizon 2020
Fewer, more flexible, funding instruments
2. Simpler reimbursement:1 project = 1 funding rate
100% of the total eligible costs (70% for innovation actions)
Non-profit legal entities can alsoreceive 100% in innovation actions
Single flat rate for indirect costs(25% of eligible costs)
3. Faster time to grant
1. Within 8 months of call deadline
Major Simplification for the benefit of applicants
4. Fewer, better targeted controls and audits
5. Coherent implementation
Through dedicated agencies
Single IT system
6. Simplification in grant agreements
New approach to work programmes and calls
• More strategic
• Two year work programmes(2014-2015: > € 15 billion)
• Less prescriptive calls(64 calls in 2014)
Broader and fewer topics
First call deadlines as from March 2014
Evaluation criteria
Proposal evaluated by the experts “as it is”
and not as “what could be” = no need for negotiation
Innovation actions higher weighting for "IMPACT"
STANDARD AWARD CRITERIA
QUALITY & EFFICIENCY
OF THE ACTIONIMPACTEXCELLENCE
ERC frontier Research actions only EXCELLENCE
Simpler access through theParticipant Portal
• Single entry pointfrom calls to electronic submission of proposals
• New tools for smart searches for the benefit of users, including newcomers to the programme.
Next steps
• Legislative decision on EU budget (2014-20)
• Legislative decisions on Horizon 2020
• Horizon 2020 launch events
